Samba-3 does not know about "client code page" and "character set".
It uses Unicode instead.
Remove or comment these 2 parameters.

AFAIK, Samba-3 does not need those files anymore.

Have you gotten rid of the old Samba-rpms already?

If no, remove Samba-3 with

$ make uninstall

then remove Samba-2 with something like

$ rpm -e samba-client.rpm
$ rpm -e samba-server.rpm

Check any remains with

$ rpm -qa | grep samba
$ rpm -qa | grep smb

Then reinstall Samba-3:

$ make install

How much data do you have on that Samba-server?
